As she cries they embrace and he promises her he will make sure she is not the loser. Tad convinces a shaking Brooke to lie down and he innocently lies next to her. Just as they do the door opens and Edmund walks in.
Anna starts to question her actions. David reinforces her decision by telling her she saved innocent people. Anna says that Wolf was running away and since she was drugged her aim could've been off. Also, Vanessa is still out there and if she does anything it would be on her head.

Bianca, Maggie and JR arrived to a party put together by Tim Dillon -n who had "escaped" from the hospital. Bianca explained why the boathouse was so nicely decorated with candles and flowers and that led to a discussion about the shooting at the wedding. Tim asked why anyone would want to ever get married because he believes it to be the end of fun. JR agreed with Tim. Bianca started to say that in her secret fantasy life she would want to have a ceremony and commitment like Leo and Greenlee's. The foursome toasted (with soda) to love, Leo and Greenlee and a love that will survive anything. Maggie and Tim exchanged looks and Bianca grabbed JR to go rowing in the canoe. Tim said it was weird how he and Maggie always end up alone together. Maggie asked Tim if he really got released today and he admitted that he left the hospital without doctor approval. She sat down on the bench with him and said how nice it was tonight, she needed to get away from all the talk of death and shootings. Tim said he was glad she was there with him and scooted closer to her and they smiled at each other. A little while later Bianca and JR returned and found Tim and Maggie lighting a candle. Bianca asked if someone was making a vow and Tim joked that he wished the candles were citronella. Bianca and Maggie walked to the other side of the boathouse and Bianca asked if Maggie and Tim were getting along. Maggie grinned and said yes. Tim and JR talked about how cool Maggie is and Tim looked across to her. They smiled at each other.
Edmund walked in on Tad and Brooke lying on the motel bed. Brooke jumped up and swore it wasn't what it looked like and Edmund demanded to know what she was doing there with her ex. Brooke said she loves Edmund very much but he didn't believe her. She cried and said she didn't want to keep anything from him. She asked Edmund to trust her and said she only wants the best thing for him. Edmund asked if the positions were reversed and she found him with Maria, would she trust him? Brook said she didn't know. Edmund told her to tell him the truth. Tad piped in and told Brooke to tell the truth or he would. Brooke looked panicked. Tad told Edmund not to blame Brooke and she tried to stop Tad from continuing. Brooke said Edmund deserved his soulmate and Tad agreed. Tad said he'd give anything to see Dixie one more time and made up a story about wanting to come back to the desert where Dixie found him a year ago. Tad said Brooke was the only person who understood and was willing to support him. Edmund asked why Brooke didn't tell him the truth about where she was going. He tried to sympathize with Tad's situation but then jumped all over Tad for "grabbing onto his fiancée ." Edmund said this "perpetual three-some" is killing their relationship. Then he asked about the kiss Brooke shared with Tad at the Pit. Brooke was stunned. Tad told Edmund he kissed Brooke and that she did not kiss him back. Edmund told Brooke he knows she and Tad aren't having sex but Tad is still coming between them. Brook finally broke down and said she tell him what was going on but Tad stopped her. Edmund asked her to come home with him and she agreed. Tad said he was leaving too and would go pay the bill. After he left Brooke asked Edmund if he'd be able to get past this and he said he didn't know. Brooke said he is the only man she would ever love. Edmund said the only way he could forgive her was if she told him the truth about what was going on. She said she already did tell him the truth but he didn't believe her. He said he was going out for air and to get the car. Brooke sat down and dialed the front desk, and found out that Maureen Gorman had checked out. She said to herself "it couldn't be her, Maria's not alive."
In the park David and Anna discussed the events at the wedding. David tried to tell Anna how amazing she was and that she saved Leo's life. She was worried that she'll be seen as unprofessional. Anna said Jackson is after her job and she said she didn't want to lose her job or her husband. David hugged her. Anna said that she needed this job to feel like she belonged but the shooting has given Jackson the ammo he needs to make her choose between her job and David. Her phone rang and she found out that Vanessa had stumbled into the hospital. The two of them raced off.
At the hospital Vanessa saw Leo and told him he had to run and hid. "He'll kill you!" she muttered then fainted in Leo's arms. The cops and nurses carried her into an exam room. Leo tried to take Greenlee and leave but she insisted that he stay and find out how Vanessa was doing. Leo said he didn't want to spend their wedding night at the hospital. Greenlee told him he didn't have to cut out his mother from his life but Leo said he didn't care about Vanessa. Greenlee insisted and said she saw something in Vanessa tonight that she'd never seen before, love for her son. Leo was touched and finally agreed to stay. Leo told Greenlee she was the ultimate bride and said she should go home and rest. Mary took her out as David and Anna arrived. Leo told his brother and sister in law what he knew about Vanessa. David and Leo went to speak with Vanessa while Anna tried to talk to a guard. Jack interrupted her and told her that Internal Affairs was now watching her every move. Jack also called her husband a criminal. Inside the room Leo talked to Vanessa and she reached for his hand. She said she had to get him to a safe place. Leo asked why wolf would want to kill him. Vanessa got agitated and said he wanted her money. She said Wolf wanted to make her watch Leo die. Leo was horrified by her tale. Vanessa said she loved Leo and he asked where the money was. Anna came in and told Vanessa that Wolf really was dead. Vanessa blanked out and David told Leo to go home to his new wife. They walked out of the room. In the hallway David hugged Leo and Leo thanked Anna for saving his life. Leo left and David asked the doctor what was going on with Vanessa as he believed she was still faking mental illness. The doctor said it wasn't a fake and that Vanessa was actually improving. David turned to find Jake standing nearby. He told the Chief of Staff that his hand was healed and Jake told him he was back on rotation then. Anna spoke to Jack again and he advised her to retain council. She suggested that he find real criminals to prosecute and he walked away. David joined her and Anna told him that Jack has filed a complaint against her with Internal Affairs. She said she could lose her job and end up in jail.
At the loft Mary made Greenlee some tea as Greenlee got into more comfortable clothes. She told her daughter that she had called the hospital and that Roger was still in critical condition. Mary asked what happened when Greenlee went to see her father but Greenlee wouldn't tell her. Mary told Greenlee how much Roger used to dote on her when she was a small child. She admitted that she was jealous of her own child and that she took Roger away from Greenlee because Greenlee was her competition. Greenlee said she couldn't handle this information now and Mary said she wanted her to know the truth. Greenlee told her mother that love wasn't like money, where you spent more and had less. She said that the more love you give, the more you get back. Mary was impressed and said she must have learned that from Leo, certainly not from her parents. Greenlee said she wished her husband was there right now and in he walked. They ran into each other's arms and Mary left them alone. They sat on the sofa and discussed the day. Leo said he'd make up for everything that happened while Greenlee said her father was a money grubbing lecher. She said he was weak and messed up and might not make it. Greenlee broke down in tears and Leo held her. Leo reminded her that they are hooked for life and can take on anything.
